Get as many names and identify as many as possible. There will be charges, indictments and trials.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

Suddenly the military is getting paid on the 15th?

It would’ve been easier to call Johnson, but he didn’t.

This validates his fear of the Epstein files.

When robbing the military piggy bank, is a better option than simply having the house pass a standalone bill to fund the military - it’s bad.

"At the best of times, law enforcement jobs, unfortunately, appeal not only to people who wish to serve and protect their communities, but also to bullies who see an outlet for their anger, aggression and need to dominate others."

Opinion | The Chicago raids send a worrying signal about the ideal ICE agents in Trump's America

The agency is on a hiring spree. But we know what that kind of breakneck expansion of the workforce can result in because we’ve seen it before.

This is a perfect summation of the state of the media. And I’m far too pessimistic at this point to think they’ll get it right anytime soon. Unfortunately it falls to the very critical media people like @gregsargent.bsky.social to keep beating the drum to give the rest of us the factual content

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 23h

Trump and Stephen Miller have relied on an army of MAGA "influencers" widely disseminating a fraudulent picture of Portland in chaos, to bolster the case for deploying military.

NYT has a good new piece on this. But it made several missteps worth highlighting. 2/

The headline says it all - "The political fight over the deficit is still a phoney war".
Right now people are basing their tantrums and arguments on speculation.
But I guess making shit up is the way it goes.
People will say anything for their 15 minutes of fame.
